Guest Blogger: Visiting, murals and more

Even though we’re not brewing beer yet, there’s lots going on at the brewery. We will be open to the public three days a week starting June, 2. Our hours will be Thursday/Friday from 3-7 and Saturday from 12-4. We invite you to stop by, look around, and chat with us. Our gift shop will be open so you can check out our t-shirts and other merchandise too.

One major goal we have for the brewery is to help promote our local community. One way we will be doing that is by teaming up with local artists to provide a new venue for sharing their work. In the brewery, we have a large open wall that measures eight feet by thirty feet. Local artists will have the opportunity to come into the brewery and create a mural on the wall. The first mural is currently being designed and work on it will begin shortly. We plan to expand on this community initiative by enabling local artists to have a show at the brewery and display their work. We think having area artists involved with Jack’s Abby Brewing will be a lot of fun for everyone involved.

As miserable as the rain has been for the past two weeks, the weather has been great for the garden. A few of the hops have already made their way onto the strings where they will eventually climb to a full nine feet. With the weather turning warmer, the rest of our plants should be in the ground shortly. If you stop by, take a look at the garden. It is really shaping up to be something great.
